The religious reason behind the rainbow

Rainbows do not naturally divide into seven clear colors. Isaac Newton chose seven to match religious and symbolic beliefs of his time. Indigo was added to fit numerology, not physics. The visible ...
Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but ...
Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.
Aristotle’s early insights into action and reaction anticipated complexities beyond Newton’s third law, revealing timeless wisdom.
Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.
